I have an O2 IIs.
Versions are 1.31.00, 1.06.00 and 1.31.139 - still on WM2003. Wireless Manager has become very confused.
It can never detect that Wifi is running, can't switch it on, can't switch it off, and the status icons always show that the device isn't connected to a network (even when it is).
Wifi actually works OK.
Any ideas?
ROM updates appear to have fixed it.

Hello...
I had Wifi working perfectly on my MDAIII for a very brief period. But it hasn't worked since!
Only by putting the phone into Bootloader mode and starting from scratch brings it back.
It says that it is connected to my network OK. There is very good signal strength. But it only seems to connect once and never again (Internet Explorer says it can't find the page)
I also can't connect to a Wifi point at my local coffee shop, so I know it's not my equipment.
I have tried fixing the IP address but this doesn't work too.
This is really annoying as that was the main reason for getting the damn phone! :evil:
The Wifi unit is a Belkin 54g F5D7630-4A running the latest firmware.
My MDAIII is:
ROM Version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM Date: 10/22/04
Radio Version: 1.06.00
Protocol Version: 1337.38
ExtROM Version: 1.22.162 WWE
Thank you.
help!!!

i am also having disconection prob with my spv 2000. it conects to the AP (mine is USR9106) and if i try to access any large files from my network the whole system fails.. ie the wireless connection goes off after some time it comes up. tried with different AP but comes with the same prob... some one please help :roll:
I have the same problems with an XDA IIs on a belkin, draytek and bufalo AP. Its not the AP its bugs in the Blue Angel.
Perhaps they will fix it eventually. In the meantime you just have to presevere.
Switching wifi off then on usually fixes, otherwise going into the available networks, I see that its says 'connected' on a network thats 10 miles away, tapping connect for the local network fixes. In many cases, I end up soft resetting.
There are also issues with wifi and DHCP, though I have only seen this twice, it was connected via wifi, but IP config on the wifi adapter showed the last GPRS IP that the unit had!! (GPRS was disconnected).

This problem seems to appear after the Bluetooth patch was applied (it doesn't matter whether Bluetooth is on or not).
Turning Wi-Fi off and on again fixes the problem, but it's rather annoying.
My IIs connected to my Netgear unit using WPA without any problems, took a minute to get IP (DHCP).
My problem is that if the device powers off (like pressing button) it disconnects the WiFi, is this the same for you?
Hi All...
My 1st post,, a shame it is about a problem.
Anyway, after examining the 4 WM6 versions currently available I went for the Dutty upgrade.
I followed the Hermes guide to the letter, & EVERYTHING seems to have updated perfectly.
Including my radio firmware being 1.41 now.... WM6 seems to be running like a dream aw well.
However, when i go to connect to my local wifi router, despite it SEEING the ssid, & signal strength & saying it is available etc.... It even starts to initiate.... (my tytn picking up the SSID & channel num etc. ) But it fails to connect (i.e. getting an IP address) & throws up a timeout error.
BTW, my wifi zone has NO security applied to make it easy to connect to - ALL my home PC's etc are all connected & working fine.
Before i upgraded (older radio firmware & WM5) the tytn DID connect.
Strangely enough - Sitting in another room, my Tytn can find another open Wifi router from my neighbour - who also has no security.... when i select this router - the Tytn DOES CONNECT!!! - & I can brouse the net via HIT Wifi - So it does work?????
So what could it be? - something to do with the radio firmware? WM6 maybe? or something subtle with my router settings that didn't pose a problem before, but do now??? - My Router is a D-Link DI-524 - And has been perfect & trouble free for all devices connecting to it for nearly a year.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

Reset the D-Link, I had A D-Link and had simmilar problems with my notebooks, a simple reset of both devices would solve the problem, I now use a NetGear 802.11g router with no problems ever.
Interestingly, I've just downgraded the Radio Firmware from the 1.41 to 1.40 & It does now want to connect... but still a bit hit & miss.....
As i said above, before any of the upgrades, the Wifi DID work & connect quickly... so this is suggesting that it is the newer Radio Roms that is causing the incompatibility.
Dutty's WM6 is FAB!! - I recommend it highly - In fact more so than the Black 2.5!!!

Find out what channel and frequency youre neigbours router is and switch youre D-Link to those specs. Basiclly try conecting youre device to it and monitor what channel and frequency it connects to.
I've upgraded my TyTn to WM6 using the new repackaged rom from Mrvanx, however I have a weird problem with the wifi.
It cannot see my router whereas before I upgraded there was always a strong signal.
I have set up the WPA encryption key etc. and also set the router up without encryption but it just shows unavailable in the list.
A neighbours network which is also WPA is found OK and it connects and asks for a key.
My laptop is connecting OK to the router so I assume all is OK with the router.
No mac filtering or anything like that installed in the router.
Noticed unlike old wm 5 the wifi Icon only stays active for about 20 secs even though in comms manager the WIFI icon shows it switched on?
Anyone got an idea what might be the problem. I do like the ROM but I do need my wifi on trips and I need to travel soon again so hoping I can fix this.

ROM 3.54,707.3 repackaged
Radio 1.03.03.10
WIfi Woes - part success - update
OK I found the answer but created another question ;-)
For security I turn off the SSID broadcast on my router. I turned it on and the TyTn immediately connected.
I always had a good connection on my original WM 5 ROM without SSID, but it appears the new one will not even see the network without SSID broadcasts.
Are there any other settings in the device to allow it to work without SSID because I am thinking that maybe some free WIFI accespoints have it turned off too?

Im having problem connecting to my home network...my o2 detects the network..signal strength is good but when i try to connect it..it shows connecting in the network cards but after a few secs shows available..ive tried to connect it hunderd times but still it shows connecting for a few secs and becomes available again.. Network settings are okay..as all other devices connect properly so there is some other problem i think..
my router is Dlinke DI-524
O2 rom version 6.11.00.WWE
Radio Version 1.06.00
protocol version 1337.38
extrom version xplod_7.00
Finally after many days..i figured it out.... Firstly i did a hard reset on the router and then i moved the battery slider to max performance all the way to the left...and tadaa..it connected like a charm
Hi there,
at home i'm connecting to the internet via bluetooth (connection shared on my laptop), at work i'm using wifi. When i quit using internet via BT and try to connect to wifi network - it is not possible. It shows me an wifi icon in the status bar for a small fraction of a second and then the icon disappears. No internet of course. Disablig and enabling wifi doesn't help. Only way to get it working is to reboot the phone. The same happens when i go back from work and enter home and want to use my BT internet, but in this case BT connection is established, icon doesn't disappear but the connection is not working as well. Reboot needed to get it work properly.
I have unbranded HOX, using latest OTA, however in previous version (4.1.2) there was similar issue.
